These are typical ones you might find/ books that are also rather pleasing, some that aren’t at all:

Shantaram - India.
Shadow of the Wind - Barcelona (fucking terrible book.)
Rum Diaries - Costa Rica.
Cuba - our man in Havana/Before night falls.
Marching Powder - Bolivia.
The motorcycle diaires - S. America.
Carlos Castaneda books - Mexico/ People heading to the Amazon to try ayahuasca.
oh yeah… and of course: The celestine Prophecy - South America.

I’ve said it a couple comments here already..I really hate backpackers especially after just doing the Full Moon Party, i’m really tired of the drifting druggie douchebags you meet everywhere in Thailand who have no goals in life..but since my blog is supposed to be some travel guide for the poor cool kid, i can’t really say that in my own writing. I content myself with venting backpacking haterness here. Great posts as always (i’m not going to lie, you may have added a bit to my reading list here).

anyways, if ur looking for a wicked guide, check it. http://www.lilfelrockstheworld.blogspot.com

Comment on 18. Playing Guitar by Nick

I take my guitar everywhere. There have been times when i didnt take my guitar and really ended up regretting it. I’d rather lug that thing around and not play it , than be in some serene setting..or one lacking entertainment and not have it..and then everyone asks , “where’s the guitar? you should’ve brought it!” (or i may ask myself that question)

“Wonderwall” is a communal,sing-along that everyone know the words to.

“Hotel California” is the most requested ever.

“Smells like teen spirit” for some reason is another frequent request..like i’m supposed to embody the vibe of punk rock evolution on my lil acoustic guitar?

Bob Marley is easily associated with the acoustic guitar by stoners and black people, so u hafta know some bob tunes. which is funny, cos people only ask to play redemption song or no woman no cry…when there are loads of great bob marley songs.

I don’t play in bands. and yes it gets me pussy….lots of it.
i don’t bat out of my league, cos as a musician, i get to choose…
its great! sometimes you could even flirt with a bird while she’s sitting there with here man. its quite hilarious actually.

but even if there arent any birds around, i’d rather have my guitar than my backpack.all you really need is deodorant and an extra pair of socks anyways.

anyhow, good writing. keep it up!

I just discovered this blog and spent one hour reading through it. Every post is over-written, poorly-written, and full of hateful slander. But dammit, you are right in almost every case, and I admit I’m often guilty of the shitty backpacker behaviour you condemn.

“Oooh yea, i LOVE traveling. Awhile ago, I went to Hawaii for a couple weeks. It was amazing.”

And what about ‘traveling’ to Cuba? Isn’t a resort close enough to a hostel?

Dude you missed out on some of the worst (best?) parts of facebooking- when people were gaga over macbook photo booth and did silly emo ones (combed over dark hair, in the shadows) with sketch or faux artistic ones with the 4 part colour one. Facebooking usage as evolved away from that at least. maybe there’s hope for the future.

now that you’re on board, you should make a fanpage for your site. and while you’re at it “Like” this shizzle. http://www.facebook.com/pages/LilFel-Rocks-the-World/284473376434?ref=ts#!/pages/LilFel-Rocks-the-World/284473376434?ref=ts

Comment on 41. Not knowing a thing about soccer by Tom

Tom — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 07:09:19 +0000

Mate seriously, im worried about you.
Should people really not make to effort to enjoy new things and just stay with the interests they were brought up with? Jesus how boring…

You only live once, give everything a try, id rather look like a douche than be sitting on my deathbed with a huge list of things i never did because i was too scared about looking dumb…

Lol yea tattoos… its almost as cliche as using the ever so cutting edge and original angry writer angle while using catch phrases like “beenou”, oh the originality…
